Certificate Pending when verifying custom domain

1

I tried configuring a custom domain for my static site, but it is stuck in “Pending certificate”. I am not really familiar with these configurations. I followed the tutorial for configuring a DNS, in this case I did on GoDaddy, but I don’t know if I am doing anything wrong.
In this case the domain I have is “bronceplata.com” and points to my static site in https://repack-qp5v.onrender.com/

Other thing is that whenever I enter the domain bought in GoDaddy browsers change the url to the pointed for the render server. Is any way to avoid that? Cause that autogenerated domain is not really great for sharing.

There’s a handful of issues based off the description here. In no particular order:

  • I do not see the behavior of bronceplata.com redirecting to the onrender.com domain. If it were, it’s most likely that GoDaddy’s “domain redirection” service is being used instead of DNS records taking effect. It’s also dependent on DNS resolving to GoDaddy instead of to Render so it may have been happening when the domain resolved to GoDaddy, which is doesn’t as of this writing.
  • The root domain ( bronceplata.com ) does not have any appropriate records: DNS Propagation Checker - Global DNS Testing Tool , though I will note that the www record does resolve to Render ( DNS Propagation Checker - Global DNS Testing Tool ).
  • Because www redirects to the root domain, the root domain’s lack of record causes the site to error.

It is still necessary for you to add an A record to the root domain ( https://docs.render.com/configure-other-dns#using-an-a-record ).
